figurative abstract was one of three created in response to a desire on my part
to do something positive in response to a friend’s life challenge. An avid underwater photographer, he was facing
a health challenge that I feared might prevent him from diving again for a long
while. So I used his photographs to
inspire these works and sent him good energy and good thoughts as I painted
them. Note the swirling pattern that
dominates the painting’s background, and that I varied the hue and intensity of
the paint to draw in the eye and give a greater impression of depth. Notice also that I abstracted the forms of
the fish and vegetation, changing the coloring of each element as it crossed
from one section of the spiral to the next.
One of the challenges I faced when painting Reef was the same one I faced in School: to use color in a
way to be consistent with the spiral theme while also preserving the shape of
each “fish” and the feeling of depth in the school when fish overlapped.

This piece appeared in my Water Works, Water Places show in 2009.
